Document Summary

What education should be: all education should be environmental education, must master self and not the discipline, use the knowledge appropriately in the world. Thomas friedman: was able to piece together a recipe for a crisis. Everyone should know: the laws of thermodynamics, the basic principles of ecology, carrying capacity, least-cost, end-use analysis, how to live well in a place, limits in technology, sustainable agriculture and forestry, stead-state economics, environmental ethics. Environmental education: ecoliteracy conceived solely as ecological science can skirt these moral and political issues . Can threaten values and worldviews: problem is its too understood as a science which results us in missing something, knowledge can threaten, it can really scare, no assured path from knowing to action. From familiar problems to frontier and foresight problems (wicked) Wicked cant even figure out what the problem is because it is so complicated because it involves a combination of different people and actions and solutions foresight problems.
